Porn is REALLY bad for you

[cumulus.james]

Shrinks your brain, negatively affects the brains reward centre, gives you porn induced erective dysfunction and screws with your ability to f*** an actual real human person. Detaches sex from emotional imtimacy.

It's just bad.

Got no porn now

Watched/read/written porn and erotica for around a decade and still don't detach sex from emotional intimacy. Be wary of anyone with an agenda; they'll make an addiction out to be everyday use. If they can scare you using facts that at least look real or like they fit the situation, you're more likely to listen, aren't you?

Hi Tealeafe,

It's science, and everything on there matched my own experience. And I now know I have a problem.

But it does not say that affects all people. I am also an alcoholic, some people can drink all their lives and not have a problem.

I'm afraid that counts for every substance/behavior that induces a psychological or physical dependency and comes along with subsequent side and withdrawal effects.

These things evoke both psychological and physical dependency by releasing dopamine causing biological effects that lead to withdrawal.

I am withdrawing and feeling like a) I want to go and start downloading masses and masses again, or b) get to a gay sauna or go on cruising apps which gets me back to sex addiction.

All these things fed into how I have become a sad alcoholic loner.

There is much to be said for courtship and romance. I think all this instant gratification (which is available on tap to gay homosexuals like me) is bad for you.

Nicer to be in a loving relationship than endless meaningless f***s with random people or watching such things on a screen, no?

I feel this way when I am in sex chatrooms too much. Everything becomes numb.

Not a good idea to overdo your brain receptors.

I would spend hours on them bloody cam sites like cam4 or whatever, but I could have been out with my gay freinds (all of whom I have now lost) or going to dinner with a nice chap (I have not had a date for nearly 10 years). When I would go on those live cam sites I literally would not budge.

Not sure I could visit those...it would be a reminder of how much REAL sex I was missing out on.
A poor substitute (just my own personal opinion - not cracking on anyone who utilizes them).

Well, better than getting an STD or getting pregnant. That's part of my reasoning anyways.

But I did loads of bad stuff in those days, was a decade ago I last had a boyfriend and I had stopped doing prostitution but he wanted to go to a concert and I was unemplyed at the time. So I went with 3 guys in one day to get the money to take him out. He never knew. Imagine how much that would have hurt him. I was a selfish c***

You don't have HIV.

Accept it as as genuine positive.

Well...I suppose that counts for everything that satisfies an individual's needs and makes them "happy". Even if it's only for a limited amount of time.

Different people are addicted to different things. Some are more and some less susceptible...porn is no exception here.

Nicer to be in a loving relationship than endless meaningless f***s with random people or watching such things on a screen, no?

Nobody argues against that. It's a matter of approach though...if you let yourself drown in your own phantasies for instance.

Only take in as much as you can handle...sadly nobody does that. The crux of every addiction. Instant reward and all that.

Like I said - I wasn't faulting anyone who uses them.
I'm 46 and I've never had an STD and the only pregnancy I had was a planned one.
I suppose I'm a bit out of the loop on how people view sex these days?

No, you're not out of the loop. I'm just special. Really.

Only a fool believes that all science is created equal, or uses "it's science" to explain their science. Among actual scientists, that's fondly known as bullshit.

On another note, the book clearly says addiction so take your fearmongering elsewhere.

Everything is REALLY bad for you. Like alcohol, sex itself, food, romantic relationships... Everything can lead to addiction. Don't see why porn would be a big, special deal; most people can tell reality from fiction, and porn can be in the form of erotica, which emphasizes the feelings behind the sexual act itself.

I happen to be a Scientist. So f*** off. I take it if you get a cancer you will not be wanting the treatment demonstrated effective by our scientific method?

Again, not all science is created equal. The people behind this type of fearmongering causing people to not take much-needed medication in the past certainly haven't been worth much as scientists.

Just because something has caused you trouble in life doesn't mean everyone else needs to (or should) be terrified of it to validate your experience. Gonna go look at some porn now and fresia up my brain, if you don't mind.
